I actually had a pretty hard time deciding whether or not I would recommend this one. I chose to recommend it however, because I think Natalie Portman's performance was flawless, and Vincent Cassel made an impression as well. I think I went into the film expecting a little more from the plot than I got, and I feel like a lot of the movie was focused on camera work (i.e. close ups for dramatic effect) rather than substance. With that said, I feel like there is a niche market for this one and not everyone will love it. I actually really liked it!
